The Apprentice School’s team is idle this weekend as it awaits the biggest game in at least the Builders’ modern history.

In its first year in the National Club Football Association and its first season under coach John Davis, the Builders (8-3) easily have won all seven games they have played against NCFA opponents. They’ll try to cap the season at 3 p.m. next Saturday in Wheeling, W.Va., in the NCFA championship game against the Oakland Golden Grizzlies from Michigan.

Last Saturday in Charlotte, N.C., Apprentice won 43-7 over Middle Georgia State as Terrence Sudberry completed 12 of 25 passes for 252 yards and four touchdowns.

Fred Hendrieth rushed for two touchdowns and 34 yards on eight carries and caught three passes for 34 yards and a score. Also catching TD passes were Poquoson native Ethan Bryce, Kwaytavious Blackwell and Jacobi Sapp, who had two receptions for 120 yards. Noah Stockton ran for 65 yards on 10 carries.

Apprentice has won five games in a row since dropping a 23-21 decision on homecoming to its last NCAA opponent, Southern Virginia.
